Anyone ever seen a Shako scenario based on Eylau??? While the whole battle might be too ambitious I was thinking Daovout's attack and subsequent repulse by the...
This is a funny coincidence. Every year my group and another get together
for a 'big game' played on our usual 6/18' table using 25s. In the past we

Hi Zels: All of these points are going to be accounted for to some degree. The
weather effects will limit artillery/LOS to 24 inches every turn, and, on a...

organize your units on two stands. This allows all formation types and
makes...

hello, we had some discussion about the amount of skimishing stands as stated in the rules (and advanced rules) for the british. As we were looking at OOB's we...
Standard British practise was to deploy both the light company and the grenadier company in skirmish order. This gives a ration of 1:5, which is not too far...

I'm working off the top of my head on this one, but I seem to recall Nosworthy mentioning this in "Battle Tactics of Napoleon & HIs Enemies" (Also known as...
We haven't played this scenario yet but this is hwere I am at regarding OOBs

Hi All: I was wondering how many of you have house rules that allow tactical marches
when outside of the combat zone (e.g. beyond 18" command range or 36"...
Dear Chris and everybody else, We have been trying out the suggestions for ties in melees-ie if a tie each side receives a kill and fights on next move- which...
We play a house rule for ties, where we re-roll immediately after both sides have taken a hit, however the loser can only take one hit irrespective of the...
This is a major problem with the "tied melee carries over to the next turn" concept as it calls for reverting from the Command Phase back to the Melee Phase....
The tie rules call for a kill to be applied to both sides (as long as both
do not Break) and the re-roll done immediately. ALL melees are resolved in
one...
Thanks to Chris, Terry, Simon and everyone else who has replied. Andy brings up the point we discussed on Sunday night. From what Chris has said it looks as if...
Hi All: Well, Eylau is history and it was a cracking good game. We have done a

Three questions: 1. Did you use the so far unpublished SHAKO II rules as opposed to using ADVANCED SHAKO? 2. How large a table did you use? 3. Did you...
The rules refute Andy's theory rather clearly. From the Breakthrough rule, third sentence on page 23: "The breakthrough move may be taken only if it produces...
I use 20mm Scruby figures from the 1960's. My impression is that SHAKO is played far and wide in many scales, but 25mm and 15mm are by far the two most...

Fallback: the only retrograde movement is done in the melee phase (after
you lose!). In that turn's command phase you try to rally. If you are
